HEAT-BETAINING RECEPTACLZEL Speeificgtion of Letters Patent.

Patented m a, 1906.

Application filed anuary 9. 1906. Renewedl'une 6, 1906- To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnonen W. TALLMAN of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heat-Retaining Receptacles; and Ido hereby declare the folple portable receptacle'wlthin which a nursottle can be mclosed,said reee tacle being soconstructed that the heat 0 the contents of the bottle will be retained therein A furtherbject is to construct in such manner that a nurs' -bottle inclosed therein can (through the me of a tube) shape.

be used without removing the bottle from the receptacle and without any inconvenience to the infant or the nurse. a

With these objects in view the invention consists incertain novel features of construction andcombinations and arrangements of parts, as hereinafter set forth, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a-view of my improvement. Fig. 2 1s a 1011 gitudinal sectional view Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view.

1 represents a sheet-metal casing which will be constructed in a shape corresponding with the general contour of the nursing-bottle to be inolosed. In the drawings I have shown the casing 1 cylindrical in form to receive a nursing-bottle having a eneral cylindrical Within the cylindrical shell or casing 1 a lining 2 of asbestos is laced in contact with the wall thereof and a 0 on the bottom. An inner lining 3, of felt or similarmaterial, is located against the asbestos lining 2. and is made of such thickness that it will closely embrace the bottle 4. The bottom ofthe shell is also covered with felt and on this the bottom of the bottle rests.

The cover 5 of the receptacle is lined with asbestos and felt, the same as the body of the receptacle, and within said cover is also placed a disk 6, of sheet-rubber or othersuitable material, which when the cover is in place will engage the mouth of the bottle and the device.

' 1 serve as a closure therefor; The depending flange of the cover is provided with one or more inwardly-projwtmg teats 7, which enter neare to'p thereof, for the purpose of securing the cover in place and pressmg it against the mouth of the bottle. The flange of the cover is also Igi'ovided with a' semicircular notch 8, and and the linings thereof are also -rcessed or notched, as at 9, so that when'thenotch of the cover alines with those of the casing and lining a circular opening will be formed.

Thro this opemng a nursing be m e to pro ect, and thus the use of the bottle by the infant will be permitted without the necessity of removing the bottle from the rece tacle. 1 Q- The evice is t in weight, occupies. but little more space an a nursmg-bottle, can be readily handled by the infant, and can be easily stowed away beneath a pillow when not in use and the contents of the bottle kept warm.

My improvements are very sim le'in construction, can be sold at a reasona le figure, and are efiectual in every respect in the performance of the functions for which they are intended.

Slight changes might be made in the details of construction of the device without departing from the spirit of m invention or limiting its scope, and hence do not wish to limit myself to the exact details herein set forth.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim. as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. An inclosure for a nursing-bottle, com prising an outer shell, a' removable cover, an inner heat-retaining lining arranged to closely embrace a removable nursing-bottle after the coverhas been removed, said heat-retainin liningadapted to contact with the bottom 0 the bottle, a heat-resisting lining interposed between the inner and the shell, a similar in the cover, and a stopper for the nursingottle secured to the lining of the cover. I

2. An inclosure for a nursing-bottle, com prising an outer shell and linings of heat-resisting and heat-retaining materials, and a cover, said cover and shell constructed to permit the passage of a tube attached to the I bottle, and means for retaining the cover on the shell with the tube passing through the cover and shell and also for retaining the grooves in the body of the casing,

e upper edge of the casing -tube may cover in place when the tube is inclosed within the shell.

3. An inclosure constructed to contain a nursing-bottle and a, nursing-tube, said closure comprising a Shell having a lining to embrace the bottle and retain heat therein, and

an adjustable cover,said shell and coverlmzw- 1 ing openings normally out of alinement, means for holdin the cover in such position, and

10 means for olding the cover in place on the shell when said openings are .brought into valinement with each other for the passage of specification in the presence of two subscrib- 15 ing Witnesses.
